Excellent Reader's Digest Version

Very simple-if you are looking to experience Buddhism at a novice's level this book is wonderful. It's a very easy read and once you've finished you can move on to the next level

Wonderful Introduction

I had a desire to learn more about Buddhism and attempted to read about 4 books on the subject before I got this one. This was was by far the best. It made Buddhism much easier to understand and was very readable. Great book. I recommend any book by Kulananda.

A clear and concise, practical introdction

Kulananda clearly knows his subject well and has a good feeling for the needs of his readers. He introduces the main forms of Buddhist meditation and discusses many of its priciple ideas, always drawing out their practical, contemporary implications. Buddhism is shown to be as relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago.
